Sorry in advance for image quality, he’s (I think it’s a he) spending a lot of time in seclusion as he hasn’t fully settled into the tank yet.

It is a male, but the brightly coloured rock in the back might be a problem as a backdrop. Fish brighten up or darken their colours depending on surroundings.

If this is a holey rock I'd remove it, as limestone raises hardness and you will mostly want softwater (barely any detectable hardness) for these fish and these rocks are a potential death trap. Had cichlids chasing each other until one got stuck more than once.

It's an iniridae-group species, so for sure not elizabethae. If it's a male, there are not many species in this group with a rounded caudal fin, to my knowledge merely A. iniridae, A. sp. D51 and A. sp. Z12. Do you know the catch location? Did it come with elizabethae?

Hello Martin, though I am not sure if I am adressing the right person, I still hope I am. I got 2 trios of Apistogramma psammophila from you some time ago. I was lucky to breed them, too, but, unfortunately, I got mainly males, 15, and only 2 females. That's why today, I have only three males left.
Kind regards, Michael (Hagen-Hohenlimburg)
He recalled that General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President Tô Lâm had praised these achievements, noting that institutions are no longer the main bottleneck to development, with challenges now lying in implementation.
Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.
